High-traffic WooCommerce

WooCommerce that doesn't fall over on Black Friday

WooCommerce is a database killer — cart, checkout and faceted search can't be edge-cached and hammer MySQL. We offload the heavy work to a dedicated cache and database, build blazing headless storefronts in Svelte, and tune the stack with you.

// why woocommerce is different

A WooCommerce store isn't a blog with a cart

The fast path for content sites — full-page caching — is exactly what a store can't use where it matters.

Checkout can't be cached

Cart, checkout and My Account are per-visitor and dynamic — full-page caching skips them. Under load every one of those is uncached PHP hitting the database.

WooCommerce is a DB killer

It's relentlessly write-heavy: orders, sessions, stock, transients. On a shared database a traffic spike turns into lock contention and slow queries — and the whole store stalls.

Search melts MySQL

Faceted filters and product search run expensive LIKE / meta queries. At catalogue scale they take seconds and drag everything else down with them.

Filters & product search: from seconds to milliseconds

2–3s ~ms

WooCommerce filters and product search run straight at MySQL with expensive meta / LIKE queries — at catalogue scale that's 2–3 seconds a click. We offload them to a dedicated cache (and Elasticsearch for big catalogues), so most stores drop from 2–3 seconds to milliseconds — and the database is freed up for orders.

// built for stores

Dedicated cache. Dedicated database. Tuned for Woo.

Start on shared Valkey — add a dedicated tier the day your store outgrows it.

dedicated tier

Dedicated cache

Object cache, sessions, cart, transients and search offloaded onto a dedicated Redis cache for your store alone — no noisy neighbours, no shared eviction. The database stops being the bottleneck.

An isolated MariaDB or Percona instance on NVMe, sized and tuned to your catalogue and order volume — its own CPU, RAM and IO, with HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage) for fast orders.

Valkey object cache

A Redis-compatible object cache on every plan, at no charge — the baseline that already makes most stores fly before you ever need a dedicated tier.

// headless

Headless WordPress, Svelte storefront

We're experts at decoupled WooCommerce — a WordPress backend with a bespoke Svelte front end, rendered at the edge.

Decoupled backend

WordPress & WooCommerce exposed cleanly via WPGraphQL and the Woo Store API — orders, cart and catalogue, headless.

SvelteKit at the edge

A bespoke SvelteKit storefront rendered at the edge — sub-second navigation, exactly the UX you want, no theme baggage.

Built & run by us

We've shipped many successful headless WooCommerce + Svelte projects end to end — design, build and the infrastructure under it.

// aws, in-house, or hybrid

Love AWS? So do we.

Run your store on AWS, on our infrastructure, or a mix — we're equally at home on all of them, and we'll move it either way without downtime.

We love AWS too

We're fluent in AWS — ElastiCache, RDS/Aurora, ECS, the lot. We'll manage and tune your existing AWS store so it just runs faster.

Or fully in-house

Prefer it off the cloud meter? We'll run the whole project on our own managed infrastructure — same dedicated cache + DB, hands-on.

Zero-downtime migration

Either direction — onto AWS, off it, or hybrid. We do the migration for you, with no downtime and no drama.

// security & compliance

Built for stores that handle money

EU data residency

Hosted in Germany, GDPR-compliant by default — your store's data stays in the EU.

PCI-friendly & isolated

Isolated containers per site, WAF & DDoS via Cloudflare, automatic patching — a clean base for PCI scope.

Encrypted backups

Nightly and on-demand encrypted backups with instant restore and one-click staging — orders are money, treat them like it.
